"Doing Gender, Doing Difference is a fascinating and coherent
collection showing the development, spanning 25 years, of
theorizing about the social construction of gender and other
inequalities. The book will be essential reading for scholars
coping with the theoretical difficulties of bringing together
analyses of gender, race, and class." -- Joan Acker, author of
DoingComparable Worth: Gender, Class, and Pay Equity
"Doing Gender, Doing Difference is engaging and thought-provoking.
Fenstermaker and West offer an inspiring model of how
theory-building might and should proceed, through dialogue with
other scholars and creative empirical work." -- Evelyn Nakano

"Doing Gender, Doing Difference is a major contribution to the
gender field. Fenstermaker and West superbly integrate classic
conceptual works on gender as an accomplishment with new evidence
and theorizing on gender and difference." -- Maxine Baca Zinn,
author of Diversityin Families
"Over a decade ago, the argument that gender is a matter of active
'doing' rather than passive 'being' opened fresh perspectives and
lines of research. In this wonderfully informative collection, two
key theorists reflect upon and further extend the intellectual
reach of this approach...Important and compelling." -- Barrie
Thorne, author of Gender Play: Girls and Boys in School
